g'day Steve and Naomi..
bloody ticks!! i got up one morning had my shower... went outside for about 2 minutes... came back insde.. sat down and to my suprise i was covered in ticks... little baby bush ticks... about the size of this . or even smaller. i had over a 100 on me and before the end of the week all my family had been through the same thing. i would say you were unlucky enough to have a nest hatch close by. make sure you keep an eye out for the rest of them cos i'd say there would be many more around. and yes its very strange that only one enclosure had them. i know you have probably done it but make sure you check all your other animals (and get your partner to give you a good check over and vice versa)
hope the little so n so's leave you alone... and if not a nice dose of tea tree oil always does the job.
